As America marks its 250th anniversary, the country should be celebrating one of the greatest political experiments in human history. Instead, nearly one in five Americans say they do not plan to celebrate Independence Day, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. The survey also found that two in five Americans doubt the United States will even endure another 250 years. Those numbers should concern everyone regardless of political affiliation because they point to something far deeper than disagreement over one election or one president. The Reuters report illustrates just how fractured the country has become. Some residents interviewed said they would not celebrate because they object to the current administration, while others argued that Independence Day should transcend politics altogether. The fact that Americans can no longer agree on celebrating the nation’s founding tells you how deep the divide has become. This is why the 250th anniversary should not become another partisan event. Whether one supports or opposes the current administration is irrelevant. The institutions created by the Founders have survived civil war, economic depressions, world wars, and political upheaval because they were designed to withstand disagreement. Once citizens stop viewing themselves as part of the same republic and begin seeing political opponents as enemies, the foundations of that constitutional system begin to weaken.

France is enduring one of its most intense heat waves in decades, with temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F), schools forced to close, and public officials urging people to stay indoors. Yet what caught my attention was not the weather itself, but the response from the French government. Instead of asking why millions of French citizens remain without air conditioning, politicians are effectively telling people they should simply learn to live with the heat. France has spent years regulating and discouraging the installation of air conditioning in the name of climate policy. Strict building regulations have favored passive cooling measures over mechanical air conditioning, while environmental policies and energy-efficiency rules have made installation more costly and, in many older buildings, considerably more difficult. Now, as record heat places millions at risk, those same policies have left much of the population without one of the most effective tools for protecting themselves. This is what happens when ideology replaces common sense. Government believed it could regulate the climate by regulating how people cool their homes, and ordinary citizens are paying the price.

GRID VOLTAGE DOWN: The U.S. power grid is beginning to fail, just as myself and others have been warning. Con Edison just invoked an emergency VOLTAGE REDUCTION across vast areas of NYC! (See impacted areas listed below.) This voltage reduction was claimed to be 8% (more than enough to set off uninterruptible power supplies and cause electronics failures) but many customers reported actual voltage reductions of 25%, meaning your typical household voltage of 115 V would be reduced to 86 V, rendering most modern electronics, motors, pumps, lights, etc., largely inoperable. Con Edison essentially implementing a rolling blackout but called it a “voltage reduction.” Because no institution in America can admit the truth anymore. What truth? That the eastern power grid is on the verge of catastrophic collapse. According to my AI research agents: “The voltage reductions and energy conservation requests affected vast swaths of the city, including: • Northern Manhattan and the Bronx: Areas such as Riverdale, Marble Hill, Kingsbridge, Van Cortlandt Park, Inwood, Hudson Heights, and Washington Heights were among the first affected, with emergency shut-offs also occurring in Riverdale. • Brooklyn and Queens: Nearly 400,000 customers in these boroughs had their voltage reduced. Specific zones included northern Brooklyn (Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Fort Greene) and northern/southeastern Queens (Auburndale, Jamaica, South Richmond Hill, Howard Beach). • Westchester County: Approximately 90,000 customers in Yonkers, Mount Vernon, Bronxville, New Rochelle, and Mamaroneck were asked to conserve energy. • Staten Island: Three pockets on the island also saw voltage reductions. Customers in these areas were urged to limit air conditioning use, avoid energy-intensive appliances like washers and dryers, and delay electric vehicle charging.” And it’s probably not even the hottest day of the year yet. On top of that, the eastern grid operator PJM just warned yesterday that it has reached peak demand beyond its ability to provide the necessary power buffer, and it may have to start ordering data centers to power down. This is why I’ve been pursuing solar solutions for decentralized living, and it’s why I’m now advocating off-grid energy storage solutions, now that battery technology has finally advanced enough to offer reliable, long-life LFP batteries that make energy storage more practical and economical. If you are one of 67 million Americans who depend on the eastern grid that serves 13 states, you should be urgently preparing to live without electricity for an extended period of time. You can start right now with mobile “solar generators” or power stations that can charge everything from electronics to electric vehicles. Then move up to a solar array that feeds your own on-site battery storage system, via an inverter that also converts the battery energy back into alternating current when you need it. I will be covering all this in more details, including with upcoming how-to videos on solar technology and off-grid EV charging, at BrightVideos.com next week (and beyond).

A good survival water plan has three layers: water storage, collection, and filtration/purification. Preppers should plan for all three. Credit: prepperpress

Eastern Power Grid ALERT: Remember just weeks ago when people like myself and Dr. Chris Martenson warned about the fragility of the U.S. East power grid and how the grid was headed for catastrophic energy shortages on high-demand days? Yep, those days just arrived. Beginning yesterday, to be exact. According to PJM's website reporting on July 2nd power demand: "PJM executed a series of procedures to manage demand and maximize supply when some generation tripped offline, including calling on emergency demand response. PJM also issued a warning to prepare some transmission owners and utilities for the possibility of curtailing data centers and other large loads in their regions and moving them to backup generation. Ultimately, that action was not required and service was not impacted. Depending on how demand materializes at or near the peak July 3 and based on ongoing conditions, PJM could need to activate these same procedures or others." In other words, if the weather gets even hotter, data centers start to go down. The data centers on the Eastern grid serve the CIA, NSA, Pentagon and basically all the federal agencies that spy on Americans and run the corrupt kleptocracy. If these start to go down -- potentially including AWS data centers -- the government as we know it today cannot function. This is why the White House recently called for people to raise the temperature on their thermostats, to reduce air conditioning usage. We've now arrived at that moment where the government's data center interests directly conflict the housing infrastructure requirements for the American people. They want you to turn off your HVAC so they can run more data center spying operations on you. "The Maximum Generation Alert and Load Management Alert is currently in effect for July 3 for the PJM footprint," says the PJM website (source link below). All of this is going to get far, far worse by June of 2027, when PJM has already openly admitted it cannot continue to serve the eastern grid even at current levels of service quality (which is obviously inadequate). I covered this in an article here: https://www.naturalnews.com/2026-06-09-eastern-power-grid-will-run-out-of-power.html And I even released an infographic with all the details.

"We are asking customers in parts of Queens and Brooklyn to conserve energy while crews complete equipment repairs. As a precaution to help maintain reliable service, voltage has been reduced by 8% in neighborhoods including Glendale, Forest Hills, Forest Hills Gardens, Ridgewood, Maspeth, Middle Village, Long Island City, Hunters Point, Sunnyside, Sunnyside Gardens, Woodside, Bay Ridge, Borough Park, Carroll Gardens, Dyker Heights, Park Slope, Sunset Park, Windsor Terrace, Kensington, Flatbush, and Bensonhurst. Con Ed got a furious rebuke when making the announcement.  Full article . . 🔗 https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/component/content/article/con-edison-cuts-new-york-city-power-8?catid=20&Itemid=101

Escalators in NY are now being turned off to "conserve energy"

PJM Interconnection, the largest U.S. power grid, has announced it is no longer able to provide expected energy requirements amid a record-breaking heat wave. Serving 67 million people across the Mid-Atlantic, South, and Washington, D.C. regions, the grid operator is now implementing emergency plans for utilities to reduce demand as it struggles to stabilize the system and avoid potential power outages - Reuters

Most people think of fertilizer in terms of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium -- the familiar N-P-K numbers on a bag. But there is a fourth element that makes modern agriculture possible, and it sits invisibly upstream of the entire system. I am talking about sulfur. Without it, phosphate rock remains locked in the ground, useless for crops. And right now, the global supply chain for sulfur is under direct attack. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, combined with the destruction of oil and gas refineries in the Middle East, has severed the flow of this critical industrial chemical. As I have warned for years, the vulnerability of the sulfur supply chain is a direct threat to global food production and national self-reliance. This is not an abstract risk. It is a ticking time bomb that could trigger mass starvation on a global scale. Full article . . 🔗 https://naturalnews.com/2026-07-03-invisible-bottleneck-food-supply-depends-on-fertilizers.html

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump on Monday, June 29th, made a quiet proclamation declaring a national emergency and authorization temporary trade restrictions on Morocco to gain access to more phosphate fertilizers, as farmers struggle to secure necessary supply. As a result of higher prices and the Strait of Hormuz closure, American farmers have struggled to secure necessary fertilizer this season.
